Regardless where you are, removable battery is a huge fire hazard. News about devastating fires caused by e-bikes batteries shows up from time to time. In China, It's common to see posters advocating for the storage of e-bikes outside building.
So don't store it in your home.

The db file on my Mac is shared with iCloud and is acted as the master file. All updates happen on the mac and the rest of the clients just sync and do read only. It has been working well.
All my website passwords are saved in firefox account so I rarely need to update the db file.

Most podcast feeds only include last ~100 episodes. Podcasts such as Planet Money and Radio Lab have more than 1000 episodes in total.
Manually combining the feeds is too time consuming and I enjoy building this tool.

> Among healthy individuals, there is a continuum of risk for alcohol-related harms whereby the risk is: > • Negligible to low for individuals who consume two standard drinks or less per week; > • Moderate for those who consume between three and six standard drinks per week; and > • Increasingly high for those who consume more than six standard drinks per week.
standard drink is the equivalent of a bottle of beer (12 oz., 341 ml, 5% alcohol) read more on the old report [2]
I know I will watch my beer intake more closely now.

perlwle | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What (almost) company sinking engineering mistakes have you witnessed?
I have heard some companies hide the truth of relocating to another city and announce it right before the move. As employee, you either move with the company or find a new job.
It's probably better to build a team in the new location then announce the move in advance. It will be a shock either way.

perlwle | 4 years ago | on: How to Design Better APIs
Helped me get started with API design in my early career. Learning from other existing APIs helps too. such as stripe, github, shopify. Any others?
Something that We do at my current job:
* set a standard and stick with it. tweak it if needed. we even have naming standard on some of the json key. for example, use XXX_count for counting. when it doesn't make sense, use total_XXX.
* Document your API, we use postman and code review API changes too.
